Here is a picture of some bats in deep hibernation. The breathing of a hibernating bat is imperceptible, and its body cold to touch. Its heartbeat drops from roughly 400 beats per minute, when awake, to about 25 in hibernation, and its body temperature drops to within a few tenths of one degree of the surrounding cave.
This is a Tirdent Leaf Nose Bat. I think it is cute.

Hi Pecos,
Thanx for dropping by, I do have the DVD of what the bleep it is...ill watch it soon.
Fascinating! They're cute little mammals. I don't know why anyone would fear them. I'm trying to learn how to sleep like that.
tan lucy pez,
Yes I will miss the bats. I will try and find another good picture.
Gulnaz,
Still scared even after all the pics : ) I was hoping to change that.

Always learn something new when I read your posts on bats. Never knew they hibernated.
All relatively new to me. You learn something everyday. Thanks for this.
Fascinating shot, Wonderful page.
